GDT: GM#17 LA Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs @7:30pm 11/13/18

[KingTrouty]

Kempe has 4 goals in his last 53 NHL games including tonight's.....That's someone that needs a lot of work in a proper development league. Not the NHL.

I was just joshing you, brother. It was funny timing is all

Are king's fans in full tank mode now?

Yes! Please have your team score more please.

Is that something like tanking since 1967?

I swear if the Leafs let the Kings win this game....Rage mode.

Not really, but there’s a 5% we make the playoffs. If we lose this game, we’ll have to go something like 40-20-5 to make the playoffs.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

crazy that we give Kempe 5 million chances
then we just give no chance to other prospects like Zykov, McKeown, Hickey, etc

none of them are great, just an observation on why one rookie gets so much attention over others

Typically if your out of a playoff spot by American Thanksgiving, the chances of getting into the postseason is fairly poor.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Too bad American superstar Austan Matthews is hurt again and isn’t there tonight to help the leafs

Dean Lombardi didn't exactly draft offensive talent did, he?

what do you think?

only game i wouldn't mind winning this year is this one vs the Leafs

just to cause some hesitation to their overabundance of arrogance and confidence that they've been boasting for 18 months now

You can get Zykov back, apparently he’s being shipped by Carolina.

my point was, if we did get him back, he'd most likely be in the AHL

 

[kovacro]

Nice snipe by Reilly.

 

[kilowatt]

Dean Lombardi didn't exactly draft offensive talent did, he?

Since taking over in 2006, he drafted Trevor Lewis, Brayden Schenn, Tanner Pearson, and Adrian Kempe on the first round.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

what are the odds of landing the first overall when you're dead last?

25%?

 

[Minor Boarding]

I still think, the reason the Kings cannot develop any quality play is due to inability of the defense to make a quick tape to tape pass or to try and skate it into offensive zone without a Pejorative Slured dump to the corner where there's no Kings players.


Also the PK structure is donkey. Absolutely no pressure on the points, collapsing waaay too much.

How many of those drafts has Futa been around for? I think he gets off fairly lightly. Can’t be all Deano who gets shit on for poor drafts.

Agreed. All these missed passes looks like they're still trying to dump and chase. They aren't...they just can't pass!

18.5

I think the bigger issue is Lombardi trading away first round picks in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2016.

[kovacro]

Maybe we are starting to see why Pearson was passed over in two drafts.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Hideous 4-1, effing joke

Thank you, Toronto.
